Popular Post Iamfalang Posted October 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2022 A language guide tells councils to use 'birthing parent' instead of 'mum and dad' The Inclusive Language Guide was issued by the Local Government Association It informs hundreds of councils about what language they can and cannot use 'Expat', 'second generation', 'economic migrant' and 'homeless' are also banned I never remember if I can share links or not, from the daily mail. take from The Sun Now I'm super triggered!!! Mum and Dad......... I knew those words were bad, bad, bad!!!! Local Government Association? lol Homeless..........actually, I like that word since it is a sad word. Seems to fit, actually. Not sure a better word for homeless. Maybe "economically displaced" or something. "Expat"......yea, not sure why that's one's banned...but it is!!!!! Maybe EX has a negative connotation. PAT is also very triggering..... OMG..... e..............x.................p.....................a...........................t.............................every letter really triggers me!! ban all books with these letters!!! lol 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jvs Posted October 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2022 I am old school and always have called a spade a spade and will continue to do so. Thailand is great in that sense,PC only means Personal Computer over here. This whole PC thing is not going to last,maybe CS is going to make a comeback. People with too much time on their hands and a massive inferiority complex seem to love all that stuff. In Thailand most people are too busy with trying to make a living to worry about feces(you see how it is done?)like this. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted October 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2022 The Woke movement will now be known as the old and tired movement. So tired of the need by folks to change words they believe are inflammatory. Might as well just round file the entire flicking dictionary and start over with words they like........ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phetphet Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 As a youngster, I remember the word Spastic being commonly used. There were even adverts by the Spastic Society. This word was deemed offensive and is never used any more. As for the OP. I wonder if these councils get many people not understanding these forms. If they asked me Birthing Parent? I would write mother, as she was the one who birthed (if that is a word) me. These things start off as guides, until such time as they are forced upon us as law. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
